North Carolina Digital Learning and Media Inventory

(NCDLMI)

What is the NC Digital Learning & Media Inventory?

The NC Digital Learning & Media Inventory (NC DLMI) collects data for state and national reporting, to inform state and local budgets, and to assist in planning state and local digital learning efforts. Inventory questions are streamlined and aligned to the North Carolina Digital Learning Progress Rubric.

This inventory is a critical component of moving the NC Digital Learning Plan forward and provides access to data and customizable reports for LEAs, individual schools, and charter schools. The NC DLMI provides a valuable data source that complements the Digital Learning Progress Rubric, providing you with a comprehensive view of your digital teaching and learning programs. 

The information collected in the NC DLMI is based on the school and district level digital learning and media resources. The data collected provides the legislature and the public a yearly snapshot of the state of digital learning and media programs in North Carolina's schools.

When is it due to be completed? 

All DPS Technology Champions & Media Coordinators need to complete all sections of the NC Digital Learning & Media Inventory (including principal sign-off) no later than COB on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.
